Alkyl Nitrites

The alkyl nitrites are volatile yellowish clear liquids that have a distinctive sweet smell. All the nitrites have vasodilatory properties and are used as a euphoric relaxant within the dance culture and to relax the anal sphincter and enhance sexual performance. The effect of inhaling the vapor, usually from the bottle or poured onto a cloth, is instantaneous and short-lived, resulting in a "rush," but adverse effects, such as dizziness, flushing, tachycardia and palpitations, headache, cold sweats, and hypotension, may occur (115,116). Swallowing of volatile nitrites as opposed to inhaling them may result in severe methemoglobinemia (117).
